Excellent Uncommon Advice
I really like this article from romance writer Dara Girard, as an antidote to the pervasive doom and gloom out there about writing, publishing and the business in general.
LYS Upgrade (I hope)
I’m excited. I just drove past my Local Yarn Store to see a new sign outside. I popped in and yes, it has changed hands and there is going to be a grand opening next week and all that good stuff. It has been a constant irritation to me (well, not constant, but…) that I… Continue reading LYS Upgrade (I hope)
Reward Charts: Godsend or Devil-sent?

He had the soul of an artist and, in another life, would probably have been hanging out with… Continue reading User Error
Red Nose Day
There are times when I miss living in a small country. In a small country, where everyone (until the past decade or so) watched the same four channels on TV, things happen that are truly nationwide. On November 11, pretty much everyone is wearing a poppy (although increasingly debating about what colour and whether newsreaders… Continue reading Red Nose Day
